Short Answer Question 2 (continued)

Examples of responses to (b) that would earn the point: ? Spanish: o More intent on religious proselytizing (spread Catholicism) o More interested in glory (power of Spanish Crown) o More openly interested in achieving individual fame and glory of conquistadores o More interested in establishing and protecting trade networks and routes o Colonization more directed by central government

? English: o Pursued a wider range of goals, including religious settlement and economic gain (e.g., extractive industries and farming/fishing/forests/fur) o More willing to allow bases for privateers o More motivated by imperial competition with Spain and other nations o More likely to be fleeing from political and religious conflicts

c) Briefly explains ONE way in which the difference indicated in (b) contributed to a difference in the development of Spanish and English colonial societies.

Examples of responses to (c) that would earn the point: ? England more likely to allow private individuals and joint stock companies to colonize in the name of England. ? Spanish developed extractive industries in precious metals, whereas English were more likely to establish economies based on trade. ? More royal control over Spanish colonies than English because English were settled to escape political and religious persecution. ? Many English colonists tended to establish more permanent settlements than did conquistadores. However, the Spanish eventually established permanent settlements. ? Because Spaniards were more concerned with conversion, they eventually integrated indigenous peoples into their culture, albeit not equally. ? English were more concerned with excluding indigenous peoples from colonial society so they were more likely to dislocate them from their lands. ? English were more willing to embrace diverse labor systems (indentured servants, enslaved African Americans). ? The encomienda system developed as a Spanish labor system, which also reinforced efforts to instill Catholic religious practices in Native Americans. ? The English developed diverse labor systems (indentured servants, enslaved African Americans).
